Episode #50

Profiting from your local authority

Do you associate your local council with costing you money or making you money? Me too, but my guest has found three ways of turning his local authority into an important ally.

Mark Morris secures excellent yields from accommodating Housing Benefit tenants, has properties where the council pays a guaranteed stress-free rent even if they're empty…and has even scored free improvements worth thousands of pounds.

In our conversation, Mark shares how he makes it all work – and ends up with a high-yielding portfolio which he can manage around his full-time job. It won't fit in with everyone's strategy, but it might make you think again about things you'd taken for granted…

Listen to this week’s show and learn:

How Mark effectively self-manages what others might consider to be a high-effort portfolio

The reality of “guaranteed rent” leasing schemes

How to find little-publicised grants and freebies that your local authority makes available

The method Mark uses to select housing benefit tenants who will be an asset rather than a liability

The enviable yields that are achievable as a result of Mark's approach
